Freeze Drying The Harvest Instead Of Canning |

Today for the #everybitcountschallenge I'm freeze drying corn, peas, green beans and basil.

Better late than never. I preserved something every day in August for the #everybitcountschallenge but I'm still editing through it so keep checking back for more challenge videos!

I'm participating in the #everybitcountschalllenge hosted by @threerivershomestead Join us in preserving the harvest and stocking our pantries by doing something towards this goal every day in August.

I'm a 60 something woman homesteading on 1/5 acre on the outskirts of a tiny rural town in Southern Illinois. My channel is all about gardening, canning, dehydrating, fermenting, freeze drying, cooking pantry and garden fresh meals from scratch. Plus I'm a trained Herbalist so I love sharing natural remedies with you too! My husband is very supportive of my dreams to become self-reliant but doesn't share them, so I do it mostly myself. I want to share the skills I've learned along the way with you. I hope you'll join me on this beautiful journey called homesteading!
